As we roll into July, Dayna and I thank you for giving us this time away. I assure you we continue to pray for the church, and I do a good bit of planning and praying and the kinds of things it’s hard to

make time for with all the preparations my work requires. So please pray that we can get some rest and that I can get some of these important things done. Thanks. We don’t take your kindness for granted. The rest of our staff and our deacons are available to you during July. They stand ready to help and minister to you should needs arrive. Please don’t hesitate to let them know. Can I share some good news? At this point in time, because of reserve funds we only need to raise about $280,000 to retire the debt we’ve accrued through the building of the sanctu-ary and the acquisition of the property we’ve turned into a parking lot. Both projects cost roughly $13,800,000. This December will mark our tenth year in the sanctuary. Many of you have given faithfully way beyond your initial 3-year commitment. We’re almost to the finish line. Let’s get it done by December and burn that note by the 10th anniversary in the sanctuary! Would you pray about what the Lord may want to do in this regard? Thanks for your faithful generosity! You will enjoy some good preaching in our Road Trip series in Acts during July. Dr. Rex Horne will preach the first three Sundays. Kyle will preach the fourth Sunday, and Bryan Smith will preach the fifth Sunday. Our Wednesday night worship times will be great as well. We won’t meet on July 4, but please come and hear Clay Arnold preach from Acts on July 11. As you read this column, many of our youth are on mission in Chicago and many of our kids are at camp at Spring Lake. Please remember these folks in your prayers. It’s a honor and joy to serve as your pastor. I got a way better gig than many pastors. For that I give thanks to God and to you. We love you and will miss you. See you in August! Your Pastor, John

We are so excited to introduce Rock Steady Boxing, a pro-gram designed to give persons with Parkin-son’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing-based fitness curriculum. We know this program will have a positive impact on our community in so many ways and will provide another way for us to point peo-ple to Jesus! Go to https://www.rocksteadyboxing.org/ for more information! You will want to be part of this!
